Paris: Several members of the anti-China dissident groups, including Tibetans, Uyghurs, the Falun Gong and Mongolians, gathered in front of the French Foreign Ministry in Paris to protest against the abusive policies of the Chinese regime on Thursday.
The event was held on the 100th anniversary of the Chinese Communist Party.
The protestors enacted street plays to depict how China was muzzling the voices of dissent and carrying out human rights abuses against the various ethnic groups.
Meanwhile, in what is being termed as a historic decision, a Paris court has called for investigation for “concealment of crimes against humanity’ against clothing brands Zara, Uniqlo and SMCP because their products are made by Uyghur slaves.
The investigation will be carried out by the National Anti-Terrorism Prosecutor’s office.
The decision of the court was following a complaint filed by Uyghur Institute Europe, Sherpa and the Bourdon Law firm.
